A brave NT pub owner has taken on a huge snappy saltwater crocodile, squaring up to the beast with a kitchen frying pan. 7NEWS
Hansen was quick to react, smacking the croc twice on the snout with the frying pan before it turns tail and slithers back into the Adelaide River in the NT.The local legend made headlines in 2017 when a video of his plucky pup Dumb Blonde, also known as Pippa, terrorising a 3m saltie went viral.The small but feisty pooch regularly ran at the island’s resident croc to scare it back into the river.
“You will see things that you do not believe possible,” Hanson told reporters as Pippa ran at the croc in 2017. “Take my word for it. It is unbelievable, this little six-, seven-kilo dog attacks a 300-kilo crocodile.” But Pippa met her tragic end in 2018 when the animal “did what crocs do” and ate her in front of horrified onlookers.
Hansen in 2018 conceded his furry friend’s death was “something that had a high probability of happening sometime”.
